COP Practical- Instagram Format Experiments



Once I split up the application into separate areas, home, search, explore and profile, I then decided to look at the format for the publication. This is going to be important as
it determines how the user interacts with the publication which is going to be the more important part of the publication.
With the experiment above i experimented with just one piece of paper and how that could be divided into four areas of the app. The flaps would open and reveal more add ons from each flap. Inside of this publication there would be two pockets for a pull out screen printed poster and pull out stickers to edit the publication in your own way.

I think this would make a good publication however when it folds I think the ink on the paper could crack. 





The publication above is made up of layers. Each layer of the publication would be a different tab of the application. Inside would have different textures of paper and different printing techniques. The front would either be foiled or letter pressed. Within the print publication there would be pull out tabs, leading to more visual information. 




This is a very simple of an idea for a publication. It would be square to represent the square shape images within Instagram. Inside would include coloured paper, textures and interactive pullouts. I think this design would be the easiest to design and put together with the different layers. The publication would also include emoji stickers for the profile page under ‘edit your profile’ so consumers could add a personal touch to the publication and interact. 





This experiment started by developing an A4 piece of paper into the interactive app. Users would pull out each section of paper and added onto each pull out would be concertina folds. The concertina folds would represent the continuous scroll of Instagram with a select amount of accounts. I like this idea for a publication but quickly realised that it could look quite messy and could get quite complex to design and put together.
